Saying “hey let me save you money and help you graduate with publishable data bc I’m a very skilled and experienced biologist, so please give me the Catalog numbers so I can give you the best assay results” and then accusing me of stealing data of a WIDLEY USED ASSAY WITH NO MODIFICATION

Imagine hiring a biologist but just to ignore everything she says and then saying you wish you had input but then dismissing every idea or suggestion

Asking for the catalogue number of a few assay reagents to basically master it myself and my “mentor” says it’s “proprietary info cut it out” LIKE NO TF ITS NOT ITS A STANDARD ASSAY

Keep ignoring my concerns, like do you want your project to fail? Let’s watch it burn together then since you insist

Spent 3 hours watching someone learn an assay just to realize I know how to do it and my mentor just didn’t

Sarah Schroeder, a UC Riverside doctoral student in entomology, hopes that by naming these insects after the singer, both the insects, specifically, as well as the concept of insect conservation more generally will shine with a little of her reflected light.A paper describing 12 new species of insects was published today in the journal Insect Systematics and Evolution. Of these, one genus has been named Swiftiephylus, and it contains four species whose names are inspired by the artist herself as well as several of her albums: Swiftiephylus taylorae, Swiftiephylus amator, Swiftiephylus intrepidus, and Swiftiephylus poetorum.
The names are Latin versions of Taylor, lover, fearless, and poets, respectively. The genus name combines "Swiftie," the term for Swift's fans, with Phylus, a name commonly used for this group of insects.
